Ok, I've searched the forums through and through and I've seen a lot of guys running 37x13.50's whether it's on 18's, 20's, 22's or even 24's. I also noticed that there's a slight bit of rubbing in some of those applications.

My question is can I fit that tire on a 22x11" wide rim. Ok...I now the tire will "fit" I mean will the rim/tire combo fit on the H2 w/o a lift. If I crank up the torsion bars just a tad will that help clear it? Will that give it an akward look?

I know the 325/60R20's fit on an 11" wide rim fine. But like I said in another post they are 35.2" tall whereas the 37's are 37.1" tall, plus an inch wider.

I spoke with my dealer and he's seen a few sets of 22's and one set of 24's put on with the 37's. He said in one instance they had to shave the frame on the rear where the inner part of the tire was rubbing. No biggie there. Secondly he said the other place he saw rubbing was when you turned the steering wheel to lock the front inward tire would rub on the control arm. I would think a different offset might fix that.

Last question is if turning up the torsion bars a tad and throwing on 37's do your guys' trucks still fit in a standard garage? I noticed it's close now - only had mine for 2 days now.

I'll also add that I'd rather not have a lift as I'd prefer it to fit into my garage. I don't mind shaving some metal and trimming away some plastic to make things fit. And slight rubbing is fine, as long as you can still drive the damn thing.

My Nitto Mud Grapplers (37x13.5 R17's on 17x10 rims with a backspace of 4.5) fit with a little rub @ the wheel well, but not the control arms or sway bar. Those same tires on stock rims (on the rear) rub the arms a little.

As the tires wear down they will be better. I'm sure I've compromised a little articulation, however I'm not a super hardcore 4wheeler....and I can still get the beast into my garage until I add the roof rack and then have to up the ante on my garage.

my 37x13.5x24 with a 5.5" backspacing barely rub on the frame in the front when turned lock to lock.
